CAUTION
1. The wiring procedures in this manual are
intended to ensure proper functioning of the
device under normal conditions. However,
because of the many variations in wiring
codes and regulations, total compliance to
these ordinances cannot be guaranteed. Be
certain that all wiring complies with applicable
regulations that relate to the installation of
electrical equipment in a hazardous area. If in
doubt, consult a qualified official before wiring
the system.
2. The devices in this system contain
semiconductor devices that are susceptible
to damage by electrostatic discharge. An
electrostatic charge can build up on the skin
and discharge when an object is touched.
Therefore, use caution when handling the
device, taking care not to touch the terminals
or electronic components. Observe normal
precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive
devices.
3. The fault detection circuitry does not monitor the
operation of external response equipment or the
external wiring to these devices. It is important
that these devices be checked periodically to
ensure that they are operational.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Det-Tronics Flame Detection/Releasing System (FDRS)
combines flame detection, signal processing, relay and
detonation output devices into a single system (Figure
5). In addition to the Det-Tronics flame detectors, the
FDRS accepts inputs from devices such as heat and
smoke sensors, and manual trip stations. The FDRS
provides alarm and fault relay outputs, a detonator
output that provides high speed output for direct
connection to a deluge valve, and extinguishing agent
release signals for connection to a releasing panel. The
system includes:
X2200 UV Flame Detector with Pulse Output
X9800 IR Flame Detector with Pulse Output
X5200 UV/IR Flame Detector with Pulse Output
X3301 Multispectrum IR Flame Detector with Pulse Output
R7404 Standard Controllers
(system capacity up to 4 controllers, up to 8 flame
detectors per controller)
R7494 Flame Controllers (system capacity up to 4
controllers, up to 8 flame detectors per controller)
R6006 Relay Output Module
R1425 Detonator Module
Power Supply/Battery Charger and Battery Backup
W2400 Ground Fault Monitor Module
BFD Battery Failure Detector
NEMA Rated Enclosure
System Drawings
The FDRS is FM approved per ANSI/NFPA-72 National
Fire Alarm Code:
1. Equivalent to Class B, Style A initiating device circuit
(IDC) when detector is installed in single detector
configuration.
2. Equivalent to Class A, Style D initiating device circuit
(IDC) when detectors are installed in a redundant
configuration (two detectors monitor exactly the
same area). The configuration continues to provide
area coverage via the second detector in the event
a single circuit fault disables one of the detectors/
circuits.
